Name: COBOL
Created: 1959
By: Conference on Data Systems Languages
Home Page:
Acronym: Common Business Oriented Language
Language type: block-structured
Extensions: .cbl .cob
Tutorial: http://www.csis.ul.ie/cobol/Course/COBOLIntro.htm

Note: Despite the attempts at standardization, variations in COBOL implementations continue to exist. Most deviations or "extensions" are intended to take advantage of hardware or environmental features which were not defined in the standard definition.

Code Example

Code:
000100 IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
000200 PROGRAM-ID.  HELLOWORLD.
000300 DATE-WRITTEN. 02/05/96  21:04.

000600 CONFIGURATION SECTION.
000700 SOURCE-COMPUTER. RM-COBOL.
000800 OBJECT-COMPUTER. RM-COBOL.

100400  DISPLAY " " LINE 1 POSITION 1 ERASE EOS.
